Finished in black powder coat over polished billet aluminum, it resists corrosion and heat while providing a precise, low-profile fit. The adapter is intended for classic and late-model vehicles listed in the fitment notes and for users who want a compact, reliable connection between wheel and column.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich vehicles will this C-Tzu adapter fit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis adapter covers a wide range of American vehicles, particularly trucks and pickups from Chevrolet, GMC and Pontiac plus many American Motors models within the stated years.
